Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 10 Dragon Clan Xuanqi, Green Maiden of the Great Snow Mountain

Taiwei looked at Xuanqi, who had already driven the White Tiger Clan into a retreat, shook his head, moved away from Xuanqi and the White Tiger Clan, and continued to fly towards the far west.

Xuanqi's deep eyes watched Taiwei flee, and the smile on his face vanished instantly: "Very cautious, but that's good. As you continue to grow, the flavor will be even richer. I haven't tasted the flesh and essence of a pill cultivator in a long time."

A sinister and sickly smile appeared on his face. Xuan Qi looked at the White Tiger Clan members who were still roaring and struggling. His purple-black dragon aura rose instantly, and the vast and boundless dragon aura, driving the bright and shining Heavenly Dragon Sword, slashed down in an instant.

In an instant, the vast and profound sword light severed the sharp blades that shot out from the hands of the White Tiger Clan member and pierced through the ancestral temple between his eyebrows.

Amidst the spurting of blood, Xuan Qi looked at the dying White Tiger Clan member and let out a low laugh. With a turn of his body, Xuan Qi revealed his thousand-foot-long purple dragon.

The dragon's long body was covered with countless translucent, diamond-shaped scales that shimmered brightly. With its mouth wide open, Xuanqi swallowed the White Tiger clansman who was not yet completely dead. As a large amount of blood flowed out, the majestic purple dragon head was stained with spots of scarlet blood.

A look of enjoyment appeared on the dragon's head as it chewed continuously with its sharp white teeth. Xuanqi's aura began to slowly rise. The essence, flesh, blood, and soul of a White Tiger Clan member were enough to allow Xuanqi's cultivation to make significant progress.

Moreover, the White Tiger Clan is no ordinary divine beast; it is one of the five recognized royal clans, and its strength is not much weaker than that of the Dragon Clan.

The moment Xuanqi devoured the white tiger, his cultivation had already reached the Golden Immortal realm. At this moment, a milky white radiant light bloomed between Xuanqi's eyebrows, completely removing all the filth and malevolent energy from the white tiger's body that Xuanqi had devoured.

Enveloped in milky white light, Xuanqi's own mental will was not affected by absorbing the bloodlines of other divine beasts of heaven and earth.

It is precisely because of this reverence for treasures that Xuanqi was able to continuously cultivate and transform from a mere black python until he became the deputy commander of the Western Sea Guiyi Army of the Dragon Clan, leading 100,000 demon troops in the Western Sea. He is a rising star among the Western Sea Dragon Clan.

A million miles away in the sky, Taiwei sensed the sudden surge of Xuanqi's aura in the distance, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

Xuanqi's cultivation had made such a huge breakthrough in such a short time, there was only one possibility: Xuanqi had devoured the white tiger whole.

Only by devouring an existence of the same realm could a cultivator at the True Immortal realm reach the Golden Immortal realm in such a short time.

However, after realizing that Xuanqi's aura was still pure and flawless, Taiwei frowned. Devouring the bloodline of other divine beasts would inevitably pollute one's own bloodline and soul, something that even top-level experts at the Taiyi realm could not avoid.

Xuanqi's ability to circumvent this ironclad rule clearly indicates that he possesses considerable secrets. Upon realizing this, Taiwei understood why Xuanqi had seemed to be spying on him earlier.

Xuan Qi must have sensed the aura of alchemy emanating from him and wanted to devour him as well. Because alchemy cultivators are proficient in alchemy, their essence, blood, soul, and spirit are extremely pure. Devouring an alchemy cultivator will not only not pollute one's own bloodline and soul, but the benefits will even far exceed those of ordinary cultivators.

"It seems I've been targeted. Xuanqi of the Dragon Clan, huh? Let's see who can devour the other." Taiwei looked at Xuanqi's location, a cold smile appearing on his face.

"The body of the Purple Dragon is a pure Yin body. If used to refine pills, even without adding other auxiliary materials, it can refine a fifth-grade or even sixth-grade golden pill. The main material that represents the foundation of my alchemy is here."

The Heavenly and Human Yin-Yang Pill between Taiwei's brows was revealed. The mysterious Yin and Yang energies erased the invisible and intangible dragon energy on Taiwei's body. After glancing once more in the direction of Xuanqi, whose energy was still rising, Taiwei's figure transformed into a streak of light and fled towards the far west.

Time passed slowly. While practicing his divine abilities, Taiwei also reforged his Dragon Abyss Sword. The foundation of this divine sword was Taiyi Refined Gold, which had extremely high potential. Now, as Taiwei's own cultivation advanced further, the quality of the Dragon Abyss Sword was also slowly improving.

Finally, when Taiwei arrived at a majestic and beautiful snow mountain covered with glistening white snow, the tempering of the Longyuan Sword was completed. From this moment on, the divine sword transformed from a magical artifact into a true treasure, greatly increasing its power.

Just as the Dragon Abyss Sword transformed into a true treasure, a wisp of pure, radiant light caught the attention of a cultivator in seclusion in the snowy mountains below.

As the swirling snowflakes gathered, a beautiful young woman appeared before Taiwei. She was dressed in white with white hair and a slender waist, her hands adorned with jade pendants. The young woman looked at Taiwei with a hint of joy in her eyes.

"I am Qing Nu, the mistress of this Great Snow Mountain. I greet this fellow Daoist."

"Taiwei greets Fellow Daoist Qingnu." Taiwei looked at the girl in green before him and sensed a peaceful golden light of merit and a chilling, swirling aura of flying snow emanating from her.

Taiwei knew that the Qingnu in front of him was a cultivator at the same True Immortal realm as him. In terms of cultivation level alone, Qingnu's early True Immortal cultivation was similar to his, and she posed no threat to him.

"I was born from a spiritual stone on this Great Snow Mountain. Even though I have now taken human form and come into the world, I cannot leave this Great Snow Mountain. I have always admired the flourishing cultivation world outside and hope that you can give me some guidance in cultivation."

Taiwei looked at the white-haired Qingnu in front of him. He could feel an extremely powerful and pure energy emanating from her, and this energy was connected to the snow-capped mountains below.

Although Qing Nu achieved the True Immortal realm through rudimentary cultivation due to the Great Snow Mountain, her close connection to it made any attempt to leave it futile.

Therefore, Qing Nu would bow down and seek the Dao from any living being or cultivator who passed through the Great Snow Mountain, in order to break free from the restrictions imposed upon her by the Great Snow Mountain. However, since Qing Nu gained sentience three million years ago, only three cultivators have passed through the Great Snow Mountain.

The first one harbored ill intentions and was painstakingly killed by Qing Nu with the help of the power of the Great Snow Mountain. The second one was a demonic cultivator, but he did help Qing Nu by devising a way to quickly refine the spiritual energy of the Great Snow Mountain.

If Qing Nu can refine all the spiritual energy of the earth veins of the Great Snow Mountain, then Qing Nu will naturally become the master of the Great Snow Mountain, and the power of the Great Snow Mountain will no longer pose any obstacle to Qing Nu.

However, refining all the earth vein spiritual energy of the Great Snow Mountain would take far too long. Even now, after millions of years, Qing Nu has only managed to refine one-tenth of the earth vein spiritual energy of the Great Snow Mountain.
